that's what i hear. 3-5 is supposed to be the sweetspot. it's funny i'm not the biggest fan of Bigfoot when it's fresh (to hoppy for the style IMHO) but after a year i really enjoy it. this was the first time i had tried it @ 3yrs and think it's killer

I had a 1991 - yes 1991 - Bigfoot the other day, at my Dad's. It was 'interesting'. It was very smooth, not very hoppy, no hot alcohol taste, and quite sweet. It might have had a very slight licorice taste. 6 ozs was plenty, I didn't want any more.
